The casualest of summer cocktails…

It has an actual Watermelon-Mint Mojito recipe which sounds divine…but when you think about it, it’s not like it’s that much work to follow the basic process. Yummy ripe fresh fruit, puree, and/or juice, mixed with rum or other booziness and a little simple sugar syrup. Some muddled sweet herbs as well, maybe, like mint or bergamot or lemon balm or even lavender flowers. Plunk it all in the jar and let it sit in the fridge. I think they get yummier after a week or two, but it’s up to you…

Life’s too short to drink bad cocktails.

(It goes without saying, I hope, that if you’re drinking these anywhere away from home, you’re taking public transit and/or designating a driver, right? And that you’re of age?)
